Negotiating with the Taliban is just a timewaster. They will not quit until they have reconquered Afghanistan and subjugated the population to their idiotic dogmas once again. They promise to honour a cease-fire but then the shooting goes on. Once our air power is out of the theater they will just sweep in.
(Sad Laughter) That question was asked by armies for centuries, even Alexander The Great failed, he commented "that Afghanistan is “easy to march into, hard to march out of.”, that was still true when the British tried to invade and control Afghanistan, the Soviets, and now the U.S.. Afghanistan is a black hole sucking men, money and everything from invading armies.

Bin Laden was trapped in Tora Bora, but it was too early in the war for profit (MIC) so he was allowed to slip away.
20 yrs. and seven trillion dollars, all the death and destruction including Iraq, and here we are. -thanks repugs.
